Mardi Gras Bunko

In April I hosted Bunko and decided to do a Murder Mystery dinner in conjunction with our Game. The theme was "As the Beads Drop" Murder at the Mardi Gras. It was a really fun theme to try with bright colors, good southern food, and a little mystery!

I wanted to make some real Southern Food for the Mardi Gras theme but most everything was a little out there. So I decided to tone it down a bit and stick with some classics but put a southern twist on them. We had a Creamy Tomatoe Bisque, Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, Southern Spinach Salad and for dessert the classic Chocolate Doberge Cake.

During Dinner we played a mini Murder Mystery game with a Mardi Gras Theme. Everyone had a character to play and a few people bit the dust as expected. Everyone guessed and then we revealed that SUZANNE (aka - Sabine Doriocourt) the PA at the local Hospital, was the Murderer at the end of the night. It was so much fun!

I played Madeline Broussard the Mardi Gras Queen & wore my sister Holly's mask that she brought home from Venice for our game.

The grand prize winner was Suz and she got a movie package with The Sherlock Holmes DVD, a Movie pass and some candy, Amanda won second place and got the game CLUE, and Trena won 3rd place and got an I SPY game and a movie pass. Brittany discovered who the murder was and received an Alfred Hitchcock DVD collection.

Every received a goody bag with a Blue Bayou Bunko Jazz CD Mix, some Mardi Gras beads and a Mask. The night was a blast! I sure love hanging with my Bunko Girls!
